Rick Scarborough. Would you outlaw porn?

Again, Paul no, all others yes.

“Since you have it all figured out, why don’t you tell us what we should care about. I see you’re using the Bush administration tactic of ‘marginalizing’ we ‘comical’ people. What’s the matter, don’t have a candidate that can stand on a conservative record?”

Hear Hear!

“No chance” in the eyes of establishment RINOs....however, you don’t have to vote for an establishment RINO. You have a choice. One person can’t do it alone, but one person CAN make a difference.

Would you approve embryonic research ?

all red lights

[Eric Blair 2084]

I’m late to the party. Pesky PTA meetings.

Oh jeez, here we go with the Terry Schiavo question...did anyone stop to think that maybe the Good Lord wanted her in Heaven?

Next question...oh jeez, pornography...I’d love to hear Ron Paul’s answer to that question.

[Samba]

[jmyrlefuller]

Would you support embryonic stem cell research on humans?

All say no.

[CounterCounterCulture]

“snowflake” babies... would it be ok to snuff out their lives for medical experiments?

all obvious noes.

[RasterMaster]

...and why Ron Paul singled himself out again.

[GulfBreeze]

This just in. Ron Paul has already won an online poll or two on this debate... somewhere... somehow.

[EveningStar]

I’m concerned with national defense first, budget problems (out of control spending and over taxation) second.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Good for Paul. It’s none of the Gubmint’s damn bidness.

[Guenevere]

I admire the mom for adopting the ‘snowflake babies’...but cringe that she’s talking about this in front of them????

[AuntB]

What if you’re not a Christian?

They ALL, even the dems claim to be Christians. What ya gonna do now? Go with the guy who says he is, but you know he isn't? WOW.

[CounterCounterCulture]

I think a lot of non-Christians can have values too, dontchathink? :)

[newzjunkey]

Odd question. He asked about prosecuting illegal porn but mentioned hotels and spoke of “white collar” pornographers. I don’t quite get it.

[jmyrlefuller]

Would you support scientific evidence that refutes evolutionary theory?

I think all said yes, I missed the last few...

[Sun]

“Every time there is a mention of WND, someone has to come in and make a slur...’there not credible, blah, blah....’

But no one has yet pointed out one thing they’re not credible about. They could be right, but they won’t prove it.”

Exactly, and they have so many outstanding and famous authors.

[padre35]

"What if you’re not a Christian? :)" Values are shared actions, not neccessarily a shared religion, one can be a Values Voter and not be a Christian.

[DocRock]

Theory of evolution question. Will you office be open to scientific aproaches that contradict evolution? (I missed the lights, somebody help by posting the results)
